Gatsby's Phantom Pocket Square

This spirited silk square captures the vintage appeal and swiftness of Gatsby's world. Inspired by the bold attitude and classic lines of a golden roadster, the design draws from the original artwork  Glory Days by artist Kevin Sabo. A playful repeat of the sketch-style car gives the center a rhythmic energy-like wheels turning across time. The outer border, structured in layers of tailored navy, rich cream, and oxblood, frames the lively motif with precision, grounding the piece in timeless sophistication. Whether tucked into a blazer pocket or tied at the neck, this scarf offers two styling stories in one - one where the dynamic pattern can take center stage, and another where the crisp border starts the conversation. “Gatsby's car is described as 'a rich cream color, bright with nickel' - a luxurious, almost mythical machine. Rather than rendering it with realist precision, I chose to depict it in motion, as if seen through the haze of nostalgia or a fleeting memory. My approach embraces distortion and fluidity, reflecting how an object as grand as this car exists in our collective imagination: shifting, evolving, and never quite still.” - Kevin Sabo
